This collection documents and continues the description of Karo, a Tupian language spoken by approximately 130 Arara Indians in the Amazon region of Brazil. Although Karo is still the first language acquired by children, the small number of its speakers places Karo in danger of extinction.
As part of the process of documentation, it is my intention to:
1) elaborate a Karo-Portuguese dictionary,
2) publish a book of traditional myths and narratives, and
3) record the few cultural activities (feasts, ceremonies, etc.) still performed by the Arara, in audio and video.
